Typhoon Intake = Edelbrock Performer RPM?

[lucheski]

I just bought a Typhoon Intake. Its on its way... I have read over and over again that the Typhoon and the RPM are virtually the same. I want to know if I can use the phenolic spacer kit for an Edelbrock Performer RPM with the Typhoon.

Good Article on the Typhoon:

Its a chineese version of the RPM intake. The RPM is proudly made in america, please do not buy that copy cat intake and put hard working americans out of work.

i just read a magazine article on that manifold and they said an edelbrock upper will bolt to the lower, so it is basically the same.
i am trying to figure out how they are making that manifold legally, as in i'd assume edlelbrock has a patent on it.......unless they pay edlebrock royalaty but then i still would'nt see how they could still sell it so cheap.........i'd think edelbrock would be having a major cow over that so they must be involved somehow.

It is the same, and yes it will work. Unless you got a good casting though, you may have to hog it out a bit to make it worthwhile- the upper to lower ports aren't very well matched and adding another peice will only make it worse. Easily done with a dremel. Also, how tall is your cowl hood inside? That's a huge intake, and you may have clearance issues with a spacer. I had to send my spacer back because I didn't have room to use it.
